My flight back to the UK will be on Friday 28th September. I’ll be at a hotel at Narita for the Thursday night (only just over a week away now). I’ve officially started to move home now, in that I’ve been packing up boxes of books for shipping back. I’ve got three boxes of books packed, with another box ready, which should take the remainder of the ones I want to ship. I’ll keep a few out of the boxes and bring them back in my luggage – reading material for between now and the flight and for the flight itself.
It’s been a wonderful adventure, which I don’t really want to end, but time marches on etc. etc. etc. This particular journey is just about at an end. More later maybe about how I feel about this sojourn, but in two words: productive, enjoyable.

Andrew – have a safe trip back to the UK. Though I was only in Japan for 2 weeks, I felt (and still feel) a small measure of what you’re feeling. I really did not want to get on the plane; there is so much more still to see in Japan! Well, I’ll be making future trips, and I’m sure you will too. Hope to see you next year in Denver or in ’08 in Montreal.
Take care.

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your sabbatical. Thanks for blogging about your life as a Brit in Japan.
